**Buying guide**
## **How to Choose the Right Lightweight Wheelchair**
Choosing the right lightweight or travel wheelchair depends on who will use it, how often it needs to be transported and the level of comfort and support required.
**1**
### **Step 1 — Think About Who Will Use the Wheelchair**
Consider whether the wheelchair will be self-propelled by the user, pushed by a carer or mainly used as a transport chair for short journeys.
**2**
### **Step 2 — Consider Weight and Lifting**
If the wheelchair needs to be lifted into a car boot or carried regularly, check the overall weight and whether an ultra lightweight wheelchair would be more practical.
**3**
### **Step 3 — Check Folding and Storage Needs**
Folding wheelchairs and compact wheelchairs are useful when storage space is limited or when the chair needs to fit into a vehicle.
**4**
### **Step 4 — Think About Comfort and Support**
Look at seat width, back support, armrests, footrests and how long the wheelchair will usually be used for at one time.
**5**
### **Step 5 — Book a Free Home Demonstration**
The best way to choose the right lightweight wheelchair is to try one. Our free home demonstrations across Hampshire let you compare suitable travel wheelchairs in your own environment.
